From Booklist ( /gp/feature.html/?docId=1000027801 ) ---------------------------------------------------- Who among us doesn't dread an envelope bearing the official Internal Revenue Service seal? Well, stop quaking in your mailboxes--Pilla, a tax litigation consultant (How to Get Tax Amnesty, 7th ed., 1998), is coming to the rescue again. Even though the IRS recently underwent a congressionally mandated restructuring, Pilla cls it won't be long before the government agency overcomes the improvements. Fortunately, he says, there are still many ways to fight back--and win--when faced with audits, letters demanding the payment of massive penalties, even levies or liens. He simplifies arcane language, underscores easy remedies (such as writing letters and photocopying all documents), and, best of all, showcases sample letters and supporting statistics throughout. With his nine secrets to handling an audit (from assuming you're right to preventing audit abuse), most taxpayers will not only regain possible assessments but also recognize that the IRS is no longer the all-powerful monster of taxpayers' nightmares. A great book for both individuals and business owners. Barbara Jacobs Copyright © American Library Association.
